I find it interesting that she refuses (as is her right) to disclose her tax documents from that period. As someone who has led from the front to try to discredit anyone on the other side no matter how tenuous the evidence it I'll behoves her to simply try to ignore it.
She might be right, she might not, I suspect not but time will tell, there seems to be a deal of evidence that naysays her version but how concrete that evidence is who knows. I find it indicative of the mental confusion in labour that while this rumbles on in the public eye they take THIS moment to announce funding for their initiatives will come from catching tax dodgers. Ho hum. "One Labour insider suggests "the reason this is particularly damaging for her is that she looks like a hypocrite - being a woman of the people who has come from nowhere was so valuable to her political brand - now she can't be the attack dog on ethics and standards". She can't complain, accusing the opposition of wrong doing has always been her forte, now the target is painted on her back. We will, whatever happens,see a lot more of these shenanigans going on once they're on power. "Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out".

Don't know, but I see Melon Husk is laying off thousands of workers.

Wouldn’t rest much on that, it’s a favourite pass time for him. As soon has his mega riches start slowing a bit he starts offloading people

That shouldn't come as any surprise given their sales figures for Q1 this year. They have to size the business to demand...

On another EV topic.... they don't seem to last as long. Was reading a car mag in the tyre fitting waiting room this morning, and....
Between 2011 and 2013 Nissan sold 3,104 Leafs. Only 2,152 of those are still taxed, so 69% of them are still in use. Ford Focus - 89%. Should be easy to verify those figures on Howmanyleft

A chap near me bought a Leaf MkI brand new and owned it for some years before trading it in for a MkII Leaf again brand new.He owned that for about a year during which time it spent more time going back to the dealership on the back of a low loader than it did in his keeping!Whether that was indicative of the breed or just a proper "Friday afternoon" car I don't know.When he'd finally had enough he got a hybrid SUV [Mitsubishi I think]in its place.

The Leaf battery range (early 24kw models in particular) is woeful. I think people buy them because they're cheap, but then realise that they're useless on a journey. If you make it on your journey that is... you'd be lucky to get 60-70 miles out of one on a full charge.
